“We saw 4 of the rooms, ours was off the landing at the top of the front stairs, looking into the trees and down on the Garden path. we liked it, Downstairs, one has an outside door to the drive, which wouldn't have felt so cozy to us. You don't need a room key in a home.” (Margohon)

“I travel with two dogs, so I prefer "my room", aka the Fitzgerald Room. It is a wing of its own on the first floor and has two doors that open to the property, making it easy for you to just "release the hounds" in the morning. It's also the largest suite in the house and the bathroom has a large clawfoot tub and windows on three sides. There are no stairs to climb, just a step up on the porch, then a step up into the room. In another hallmark of Welbourne authenticity, the Fitzgerald Room is not called that because the owner is a big F. Scott Fitzgerald fan. It's called that because the author himself stayed in the room and mentioned Welbourne in one of his books.” (schmedrake)

“The end room off of the library was awesome! Be aware that not all rooms have a full bath and are perfectly described as having "faded elegance."” (MokieVermont)

OK, this is the old South, and it is frayed at the edges. But, it is also part of our (USA) history. The accomodations are basic but interesting. The building itself is fascinating especially the library (see the papers granting officer-ship in the Confederate Army) and the Dining Room. We had a delicious silver service breakfast, and loved just wandering...

The place has character. It has charm. But it's not clean, which is just unacceptable in my mind.
I imagine it costs a lot of money to keep up an inn such as the Welbourne, but I do not think it would cost the owners much to invest in some new, clean sheets and towels. These simple things would have...

"Only the cool people stray here" is how Welbourne was described by one guest - a professional poet - to other guests. Big, sprawling, quirky and completely authentic down to the tiniest Antebellum detail. Straying here like living as a member of the extended family in some PG Wodehouse story set in an aging English manor. Excellent breakfast, hundreds of...

My daughter and I stayed as part of a wedding party. The "farmer's wife was gracious enough to take us on a tour of this magnificent property.We watched the hunt and enjoyed the hospitality of our hosts.

This was a wonderful- quintessential bed and breakfast! My husband and I stayed for our wedding anniversary and had a blast! The house has aged beautifully and is well kept. We very much enjoy American history and this house gave exactly what we were looking for. We loved how inclusive the atmosphere in the house was, were everyone knew each...

When I phoned for reservations, Nat told me "Welbourne is a home, not a hotel, so if no one is here, just go into the front hall and there'll be a note on the table telling you where your room is. Cocktails are at 7." Yes, Welbourne is an authentic historic home, and you are a paying guest not a...

My wife and I were looking for a place to go just for a change of pace. I particularly wanted a place filled with history and little connection with what is usually going on in this world of ours. Just outside Middleburg, VA there is just such a place called Welbourn. It takes you back to a much simpler time;...

Breakfast was excellent and plenty however the home exterior and interior needs some attention and kept a little cleaner . The furnishings were unique and the host were pleasant. We are not sure how the air operates so you kind of get what you get. The dogs were friendly and not a problem.The grounds could also use some upkeep. Just...

Nat and Sherry could not have been more welcoming...we booked this last minute, they were so accommodating, the rooms are beautiful, but the company was the highlight...drinks 'til nearly midnight...beautiful breakfast (you'll feel as if you're in Downton Abbey)...the people were really the best though. I got my car stuck and everyone helped, a neighbor was even prepared to come...

Perfect relaxing stay, I say home from home, I only dream of a home like this!! so beautiful, faded elegance as their website explains - it is not 5 star, but a true old home experience. I urge anyone looking for something a little more authentic than the usual B&Bs to try it - you will love it.
